Miniature Android 4.0 PC goes on sale.
Chinese retailers have started to list a miniature Android 4.0 computer for $74 a pop. Inside the plastic case - slightly larger than a USB thumb drive - is an AllWinner A10 single-core 1.5GHz ARM CPU, 512MB of RAM and a Mali 400 GPU.

It has a female HDMI port for connecting to a HDTV, and can output in 1080p. It has 4GB of flash storage and will take a microSD card up to 32GB in capacity.
It has WiFi 802.11b/g connectivity built-in, and can connect with a 2.4G wireless keyboard + fly mouse. It also has a USB 2.0/OTG port and USB 2.0 Host port.

ARM-based Linux platforms can be booted from microSD. It does not appear to be USB powered.

Similar micro-computers have been showing up in recent years. The FXI Tech Cotton Candy will start shipping next month.
It plugs directly into a HDMI port of a TV, has a dual-core processor and double the RAM. It will sell for $79.
